The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) will be sending the annual renewal notice for veterinary surgeons by email and is asking members of the profession to make sure their details are up-to-date beforehand.
In previous years the RCVS have sent renewal notices to veterinary surgeons by post, however, from now on key communications about renewing registrations will be made by email, except where the College does not hold an email address for an individual.
Nicola South, Customer Experience Manager and Head of Registration at the RCVS says: ‘The move towards electronic communications has been requested by the profession for some time and is also more environmentally friendly for the College.
As with previous years, veterinary surgeons should use the online My Account login area to pay their annual renewal fee and make declarations from 15th February onwards, and will still be accepting BACS transfers, cheques and pre-arranged Direct Debits.’
Any member of the profession who wish to continue to receive the annual renewal notice by post should contact the RCVS Registration Department before Monday 1st February on 020 7202 0707 or registration@rcvs.org.uk
Veterinary surgeons who wish to set up a Direct Debit can download a mandate form here. This will need to be sent to the RCVS Finance Department by Friday 22nd January.
